Walmart announced it's Black Friday Deals events, and it's a whopping three weeks long. Deals kickoff 11/11 online and run through Cyber Monday. While it may seem like every year Black Friday deals start earlier, Walmart has actually been doing these near month-long Black Friday events for five years. Historical Start of Walmart Black Friday Deals 2024: November 11 2023: November 8 2022: November 7 2021: November 3 2020: November 4 2019: November 29 (With a single pre-Black Friday event on November 22) As we know with so many aspects of life - COVID changed the game. That first year of the pandemic was Walmart's first foray into a multi-event Black Friday and they haven't looked back since. Other retailers have been lengthening their Black Friday events over the years, but I have yet to find one that surpasses the length of Walmart's. I believe they are calling Amazon's deals the T-12 this year, which was T-11 last year. More on that to come!

Are Black Friday deals good for your long-term brand? 🤔 As the excitement of Black Friday merges into the chaos of Cyber Monday, businesses can start to reflect on whether what has become a marketing stalwart of massive discounts is a wise move. While these deals can drive quick sales, they may also come with long-term risks. Offering big discounts too often may train your customers to expect lower prices, making it harder to maintain premium pricing in the future. Discounting may boost short-term revenue, but how much of that actually contributes to profit? Are you attracting loyal customers, or just bargain hunters who might only return every last Friday in November? Does jumping on the Black Friday bandwagon erode your brand value, hit your profit margins, and challenge customer loyalty? For businesses that focus on long-term value - particularly small businesses and independent consultants and coaches, this question is even more important. Instead of chasing short-term sales spikes, could you focus on building deeper client relationships or offering unique value that differentiates your brand? I’d love to hear your thoughts. #BlackFriday #LongTermGrowth #BrandStrategy #CustomerLoyalty
